Spain

The thing I hate most about Spain is their schedules. They wake up late, have a two-hour break in the middle of the day, and then close up early. Barcelona and Madrid seem to finally be stepping into the modern era, but good luck trying it with the rest of Spain. Despite that, though, Spain is a great country. The people are a bit iffy (half seem to be complete bastards, the other half extremely nice), but you can get along fairly well. Watch out for the roaming gypsies (who love to give you crap and rip you off). Otherwise, Barcelona and Madrid are incredibly nice cities (if a bit dirty). Other cities in the country (Seville, Grenada, Cordoba, etc.) are not quite as exciting and usually leave a little to be desired. Oh, and the other thing about Spain is the lack of vegetarians. Not that that in itself is bad. Just the fact that they put bacon, beef, and seafood on EVERYTHING. Even if you ask for something without meat, it usually has some in it. I survived on Telepizza and Pans & Company for two weeks.
